Firefox resizes to full screen when I type anywhere in Firefox

I launch Firefox and start typing a URL or search string and the Firefox window instantly resizes to full screen. This happens only once after launching Firefox. I can 'restore down' and continue without the problem occurring again, unless I close Firefox and relaunch, and then window will resize to full screen when I start typing. Problem started about one month ago. Win 7 16-bit, FF 3.6.8. Thanks in advance!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last Firefox update?

One correction, Win 7 32-bit ;)

How can I insert a single image that resizes to full screen when I pinch it out?

Hey there. I'm looking for a feature (similar to the gallery widget) where I can have 1 small image and when you tap or spread your fingers, it resizes to full screen. Is this possible?

Thanks, Caleb, that worked!
But I have a follow up question. So if I use Edit Mask so that I can only see a portion of the image, when I tap the image, I only enlarge the visible portion. In fact, it isn't even enlarged: I only see the same portion of the image at the same size. This is not the behaviour you get with the gallery widget. Is that also your experience, or am I missing something?
In thinking about it, I can probably make do with the gallery widget in the cases where I would like this behaviour, but it seems like this should work.

When in full screen mode on netflix or hulu firefox goes out of full screem by itself

I stream movies and tv shows using the websites Netflix.com and Hulu.com, when I have it in full screen mode, firefox automaticly and without reason exits full screen mode. I dont have any screen saver on or anything like it, it just goes back to the smaller view. i was hoping someone had an answer for this problem.

''full screen mode on Netflix or Hulu, Firefox drops out of full screem by itself:''
'''Try this'''
#Update Flash to latest version<br>http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Bring up a Flash Video<br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?index=39&feature=BF&v=lfkbx_PETjE&list=PL05CEC01F9F371A3D
# Click with movie to pause movie
# Right-click within the movie,
# Choose '''pop out'''
# Make the window as large as possible by moving the borders, just in case it drops full screen
# Click on full screen on the symbol lower right corner
That appears to be what I had success with, I'm not connected to external monitor.
# If movie is not playing click to start
# Click on Full screen symbol

On Firefox Nightly (64bit) full-screen is not full-screen. Menu bar and tabs appear above the full-screen.

I'm running Debian Testing (Jessie) with a 3.15-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel. I'm running Mozilla Nightly 34.0a1. All is well except in full-screen mode. The problem is present whether running a video using the Flashplayer or HTML5. When playing a video and selecting "Full-screen mode" Firefox goes into full-screen as usual, except... the tab bar appears above the so-called "full" screen and so does the navigation/search bar which appears just below the tab bar and just above the video itself.
I can make this problem disappear by creating a new profile which is basically a "blank slate" (nothing added). I can show you a screen-shot if you wish to see the non-full-screen yourselves.

Hi dsiddens
You can right-click empty space on the Tab bar or Navigation Toolbar to open the toolbar context menu and set a tick on "Hide Toolbars".

I can't get Firefox to populate full screen. It's live on the task bar but nothing I try, including uninstall and re-downloading, has worked.

I can't get Firefox to populate full screen. It's live on the task bar (because it will give me a mini preview when I move the mouse over it) but nothing I try, including uninstall and re-downloading, has worked.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

How do I make multiple videos on one slide play in full screen when selected?

I want to put four short videos per slide and have each play in full screen when I click on them. How can I do this? Thanks

I've figured out to hyperlink to the video in a different presentation, which works. BUT how do I end back on my original slide?

The Full Screen icon does not appear in Firefox 16.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8, and command+shift+F does not close the full screen view.

I accidentally entered full screen view and was unable to exit. The Firefox Help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen+mac&r=0&as=s says I should see a Full Screen View icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Firefox window. That icon not there. I cannot find it. It does not appear in either the full screen or non-full screen views.
Further, the Help article's advice to exit full screen view by using the keyboard sequence command+shift+F does not work. I had to unplug my iMac and reboot. Firefox then opened in non-full screen view.
Ideally, hitting the Escape key would cause Firefox to exit full screen view.

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

How do i get my videos to be full screen when editing and viewing on ipad 2. When editing videos in imovie the video isnt zoomed in all the way, this is with imported videos as well as ipad videos... Please help!!

If you shoot vertical/tall video it cannot be zoomed all the way out in the exit.
Shoot wide, or edit in a different editing app.

No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

Hello User909807,
After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.
Respectfully,

Make a picture fit the full screen when published?

I can´t seem to get my picture to fit the full screen when I publish it. There are some alternatives.
To drag the picture into the canvas and enlarge it.
Drag it into the Page background or drag it into the web browser background. Iv tried them all and they look allright in iWeb but there are gaps in every direction when published to the web.

See, that leads us to my second problem. I have a trial period on .mac and when I uploaded some wavs, the disk space quickly ran out. I erased the wavs but the space used is still the same. Is there a way to empty the cache so I dan show it to you.
Thanks for the quick reply, by the way.

How to launch firefox 4 in full screen mode

hello, How to launch firefox 4 in full screen mode. I dont want to press SHIFT CMD F each time? thx

There needs to a be a space before -fullscreen and that switch needs to be placed after the quotes
*"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -fullscreen
But I don't think that it will work. Firefox 4 doesn't have that switch by default, so support should be added via an extension.

HT204291 How does one get full screen when using air play on my tv from my iPad,thanks in advance

How does one get a full screen when using air play on my tv when I'm mirroring,.? Thanks in advance

The iPad's display is 4:3, so it cannot fill your TV screen, which is 16:9
The only way is to change your TV settings and stretch the image.
